rosegarden (was Re: [linux-audio-user] midi input)

Rosegarden just doesn't seem to be working for me. The keyboard connection is initialized according to configuration panel-> midi stats. I can load a midi and play it to the keyboard using rosegarden. But for one thing there are no instruments to choose from. Both right click on a track and going to find 'instrument' in the menus yeilds a blank menu. Second, the "midi connection manager" is not working as described. I can create new devices in both play and record but I cannot connect them to the soundcard connection to my keyboard. The choice is in the dropdown, but when I click on it the "No Connection" item remains selected. When I try to record I get a "No record instrument selected." I think it wants me to select a non-existant instrument?
